King Tut Comes To The Quad Cities

You can journey through time to ancient Egypt and experience the wonder and awe of the finding of King Tut's tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter. First you walk into the tomb just like Carter did and see the treasure that was buried with the boy king. From there you explore the rest of the tomb including the burial chamber of the boy king. With multi media technology you can see and hear the story of Egypt's most famous Pharaoh.

The tomb and treasures of Tutankhamun have been faithfully reconstructed to scale, giving visitors a realistic impression of the overwhelming opulence of the offerings meant to serve the king on his magical journey into the Underworld. Mark Lach, who is the Creative Director of The Discovery of King Tut, explains why people are interested in King Tut and why the exhibit is important.

If you have a teenager like I do who is interested in history or ancient Egypt then this exhibit is a must. Get more information and buy tickets at tutnam.org. Members save on ticket admission to the Discovery of King Tut. What a great time to become a member of the Putnam Museum.
